We've been through this. With ink or print, black is the combination of all the colors and white is the absence of color. With light (additive vs. subtractive) it's the other way around: white is the combination of all the colors and black is the absence of color.
Anyway it's just semantics. "Black and White" is considered the opposite of "Color" (when it comes to photography or movies). There is "no color" in a black and white movie although both black and white are present. Remember those old TVs with a "color" knob? Turn it all the way down and you've got a black and white image, not just a white image.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

The NON-color of the day!
I should just drop this, shouldn't I? You've got your own logic and you're sticking to it.
Black is the combination of all the colors so technically it's not a non-color but all the colors. Now white is a non-color.

Yes. We have had this discussion before. I think though that you are swaying me with your qualifyers.
